On a warm and windless November sunday, the four of us, Ron Karpel,
Dee Booth, Milushe Kudnrnovska and I, Arun Mahajan, tramped up this
isolated peak which is in the wilderness that bears the same name.

We used Pete Yamagata's excellent trip
report
from the SPS archives as reference
and with our organiser/leader/route-finder, Ron, leading the way,
we did not go wrong. Knowing that we had less daylight and having
started relatively late in the morning (9.30 am) we kept a steady
pace and summitted in three and half hours, spent thirty minutes at
the top and got back to the cars in two hours and fifty minutes.
The round trip distance is about 13 miles.

Another point to note is that some sections of the unpaved access road
that leads to the Tanglefoot Trailhead are bad. My generic sedan made
it, but not without some anxious moments, so we felt that a higher
clearance vehicle would have been better.
